When the Duke University lacrosse players were accused of raping a black stripper last year, liberals everywhere treated the accusation as fact, because, just as with the <i>Nation</i> and Tawana Brawley, the rape charge seemed to the minds of liberals&nbsp;to reflect the true nature of oppressive racial and sexual relations in America.&nbsp;</span></span><br /><span id="ctl00_PageContent_lblArticleBody"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">To see the real truth of the matter, let us take a look at the Department of Justice </span><a href="http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/cvusst.htm"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman;">document</span></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> <i>Criminal Victimization in the United States, 2005</i>. (Go to the linked document, and under "Victims and Offenders" download the pdf file for 2005.)&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">In Table 42, entitled "Personal crimes of violence, 2005, percent distribution of single-offender victimizations, based on race of victims, by type of crime and perceived race of offender," we learn that there were 111,590 white victims and 36,620 black victims of rape or sexual assault in 2005.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">(The number of rapes is not distinguished from those of sexual assaults; it is maddening that sexual assault, an ill-defined category that covers various types of criminal acts ranging from penetration to inappropriate touching, is conflated with the more specific crime of rape.) In the 111,590 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was white, 44.5 percent of the offenders were white, and 33.6 percent of the offenders were black. In the 36,620 cases in which the victim of rape or sexual assault was black, 100 percent of the offenders were black, and 0.0 percent of the offenders were white. The table explains that 0.0 percent means that there were under 10 incidents nationally.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The table does not gives statistics for Hispanic victims and offenders. But the bottom line on interracial white/black and black/white rape is clear:&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;">In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /></b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The Department of Justice statistics refer, of course, to verified reports. According to the Wikipedia </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman;">article</span></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> on rape, as many as half of all rape charges nationally are determined by police and prosecutors to be false: </span><br /><blockquote><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Linda Fairstein, former head of the New York County District Attorney's Sex Crimes Unit, noted, "There are about 4,000 reports of rape each year in Manhattan. Of these, about half simply did not happen.... It's my job to bring justice to the man who has been falsely accused by a woman who has a grudge against him, just as it's my job to prosecute the real thing." </span></blockquote><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">No wonder there was such absolute belief in the guilt of the Duke students among the leading sectors of liberal America. A drug-addled, half-deranged, promiscuous black stripper accused three young white men of raping her. There are virtually zero rapes of black women by white men in the United States, and half of all rape charges against specific individuals turn out to be false. But in the gnostic, inverted world of liberal demonology, the white students had to be guilty.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Meanwhile, in the real America, week after week, the newspapers report the rapes of white women by black men—though, of course, without ever once using the words, "a white woman was raped by black man."&nbsp;Just last week in the <i>New York Post</i> there was a story about a serial black rapist who invaded women's apartments on Manhattan's Upper West Side;&nbsp;you knew the rapist was black from a police drawing accompanying the story, and you knew the victims were most likely white from the neighborhoods where the attacks occurred.&nbsp; But even when&nbsp;news media's reports of black on white rape make the race of the perpetrator evident (which the media only does in a minority of instances), no explicit reference is ever made to the racial aspect of the case. Each story of black on white rape is reported in isolation, not presented as part of a larger pattern. There is never the slightest mention of the fact that white women in this country are being targeted by black rapists. In the inverted world of liberalism, the phenomenon does not exist.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">-- </span><br /><a href="mailto:Lawrence.auster@att.net"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman;">Lawrence Auster</span></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> is the author of </span><a href="http://www.aicfoundation.com/booklets.htm"><i><span style="color: purple; font-family: Times New Roman;">Erasing America: The Politics of the Borderless Nation</span></i></a><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">.

Contrary to the illusion presented by the MSM, both in total numbers and proportionally more blacks are on welfare than whites.<br /><br /><br /><b>Updates</b>:<br /><br /><a href="http://cis.org/immigrant-welfare-use-2011" target="_blank">A recent report</a> (by CIS) shows that 74.7% of Mexican immigrants with children use some form of welfare in the USA.&nbsp; (A racial breakdown of Mexicans is <a href="http://sociobiologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-race-are-hispanics.html" target="_blank">here</a>.)<br /><br />Camarota:&nbsp; "<a href="http://cis.org/immigrant-welfare-use-2011" target="_blank">Welfare Use by Immigrant Households with Children</a>"<br /><br />Peter Bradley:&nbsp; "<a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;cad=rja&amp;ved=0CDMQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vdare.com%2Farticles%2Fnational-review-wrong-again-on-race-and-welfare&amp;ei=LJ2_UMiINYnE2wXa7YDwAQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNG0Xod4jHzYuhbGj0LSmI2KdRR3oQ&amp;sig2=kvNH41uIwpfdGlvgZtalaA" target="_blank">National Review Wrong (Again) on Race and Welfare</a>" <br /><br /><br />Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17221889280979862925noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806885520020891139.post-82145016638807912412012-03-19T22:12:00.013-07:002014-09-07T07:06:08.763-07:00Gender vs. Race: A Feminist Perspective<i>A great post [edited] from the list.&nbsp; If only more feminists saw the big picture....</i><br /><br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>Gender vs. Race:&nbsp; A Feminist Perspective</b><br /><br />By Samantha Powers<br /><br />The zeitgeist of the day groups many causes together -- feminism, minority rights, immigration advocacy, etc.&nbsp; -- but this is a very loose coalition, with different parts often at odds with each other.&nbsp; It's not so obvious that feminism, as it was traditionally understood, belongs in the same camp of the new post-left identity politics.<br /><br />Not all races of women are the same and race cuts deeper than gender.<br /><br />Feminism is a product of females of Northern European ancestry. As argued by the Roman historian Tacitus, Northern European women have always had more liberties.&nbsp; This tend goes back thousands of years and there are probably sociobiological reasons for it, such as the particular type of monogamy that evolved among Northern Europeans.&nbsp; But these liberties are under fire -- not from gun-toting white males from the South but from the hoards of Third World people coming to the United States. <br /><br />The new multiracial empire forming in the United States will eventually and&nbsp;undoubtedly be hostile toward white women.&nbsp; As noted by <a href="http://www.limitstogrowth.org/">Brenda Walker</a>, Third World immigration will <a href="http://europenews.dk/en/node/25872" target="_blank">hurt</a> <a href="http://fjordman.blogspot.com/2005/12/immigrant-rape-wave-in-sweden.html" target="_blank">women</a>.&nbsp; Just look at the treatment of white women by blacks and <a href="http://sociobiologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-race-are-hispanics.html" target="_blank">mestizos</a>.&nbsp; Listen to some rap music or look at some crime statistics on Hispanics.&nbsp; Or look at these <a href="http://sociobiologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2014/09/shocking-stats-on-black-on-white-rape.html" target="_blank">statistics</a> on interracial rape in the United States:<br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man. What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man." </blockquote><br />While short-sighted feminists have <a href="http://pandagon.net/" target="_blank">declared war</a> upon Darwinism simply because it does not conform to political correctness, Darwinian insights can provide realistic survival goals for European females.&nbsp; The first thing white females must realize is that race cuts deeper than gender.<br /><br />A recent example. For all her talk of a "trans-racial feminism," Oprah Winfrey dropped the real feminist (Hillary Clinton) in a heartbeat to support her co-ethnic Barack Obama (who's a lukewarm feminist at best). As did nearly all other black women.&nbsp; You see, non-whites are not as naive as whites when it comes to identity politics; whites too often believe in abstract universals (which works for mathematics) but can be detrimental when it comes to politics.<br /><br />Another example that comes to mind is the OJ Simpson trial.&nbsp; Feminist prosecutor Marcia Clark tried to pack the jury with white women, and Johnnie Cochran tried to pack it with black men.&nbsp; They compromised with a jury of mostly black females.&nbsp; Well, we know the end of that story.<br /><br />In terms of IQ (intelligence), the IQ differences between genders is minimal and IQ largely tracks by race.&nbsp; For instance, the average white female will have significantly higher IQ than both black males and black females.&nbsp; Regarding trans-racial bonding, white females, intellectually, have very little in common with black females.&nbsp; Why would we want to be grouped with them? <br /><br />I could give many more examples of race trumping gender but&nbsp; a greater insight is the realization that throughout human history nearly 90% or more of all wars have been ethnic conflicts of sorts.&nbsp; Even many religious wars were truly ethno-religious wars.&nbsp; History has yet to demonstrate a gender war.&nbsp; The very idea that men and women would divide by gender and then attempt to exterminate each other is ridiculous from a Darwinian perspective because it would reduce everyone's inclusive fitness.&nbsp; If "war is the great clarifier," as they say, then the very absence of armed "gender wars" clearly demonstrates the primacy of race over gender.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.charlesdarwinresearch.org/2009%2520BJLS.pdf" target="_blank">People sort by race</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; They always have; they always will.&nbsp; A white man and a white woman can pair up, have a child, and each <a href="http://sociobiologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2011/10/problems-with-mixed-race-marriages-and.html" target="_blank">will increase his or her inclusive fitness</a>.&nbsp; Not so with a white female and black female teaming up, for even if they adopted, say a "mixed-race (black-white) child, each female would be around 55x more closely related to her co-ethnics than to the adopted child.&nbsp; Their inclusive fitness would be diminished."<br /><br />Once again, race trumps gender.&nbsp; A lesson that all feminists today need to learn.&nbsp; A reality that Margaret Sanger knew very well but many feminists today seem to have forgotten.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17221889280979862925noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806885520020891139.post-75195633951807072922011-10-16T14:42:00.001-07:002015-02-06T07:17:47.923-08:00Biological Problems with Mixed-Race Families, Marriages Relationships & Adoptions<i>Keywords: &nbsp;Mixed-Race marriages, mixed-race relationships, Mixed-race children, Mixed-race child, problems, obstacles, Interracial Adoptions, Transracial Adoptions, Interracial Marriage, Multiracial Family,&nbsp;Endogamy, Exogamy, Biracial Children, Heterosis, Biracial Heritage, DNA, Adoptions, BiRacial, Black Adoption, Children, Divorce, DNA, Endogamy, Ethnicity, Interracial Family, Interracial Marriage, Marriages, Miscegenation, Mixed-Race, Problems, Race, Rate, Relationships, International Adoption Scam, International Adoption Racket, Evangelical Orphan Scam, Adoption Africa, Adoption China, Adoption India, etc.</i><br /><br />Interesting article from list:<br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>Biological Problems with Mixed-Race Families, Marriages, Relationships and Adoptions</b><br /><br />By A. J. &nbsp;Fisher, Jan. 14, 2011<br /><br />As anyone familiar with the literature knows, mixed-race marriages and romantic relationships suffer many more problems than single-race marriages and romantic relationships.&nbsp; For those familiar with human biodiversity (HBD) and sociobiology, this should come as no surprise. &nbsp;In evolutionary terms, one could argue that mixed-race marriages are maladaptive in that they reduce a person's overall genetic fitness - i.e. passing on copies of one's own genes. &nbsp;In a multiracial marriage or relationship, one is showing altruism toward a partner who shares fewer genes than a co-ethnic would share. &nbsp;A parent will also share fewer genes with a multiracial child than with a same-race child.<br /><br />It's natural for someone to prefer a partner of the same race, as this increases a person's Darwinian fitness. J. Philippe Rushton <a href="http://www.humanbiologicaldiversity.com/articles/Rushton%2C%20J.%20Phillipe.%20%22Inclusive%20fitness%20in%20human%20relationships.%22%20Biological%20Journal%20of%20the%20Linnean%20Society%2096%20(2009).pdf">has noted</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote>"[P]eople maximize their inclusive ﬁtness by marrying others similar to themselves...."&nbsp;</blockquote>In another <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;sqi=2&amp;ved=0CBkQFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fciteseerx.ist.psu.edu%2Fviewdoc%2Fdownload%3Fdoi%3D10.1.1.134.6512%26rep%3Drep1%26type%3Dpdf&amp;rct=j&amp;q=Genetic%20similarity%2C%20human%20altruism%2C%20and%20group%20selection.%20Behavioral%20%20and%20Brain%20Sciences&amp;ei=jNh1TdKPJY-C0QHa3eToBg&amp;usg=AFQjCNGIHNFw2ayelqCc6M56Oy115oiFNg">article</a>, Rushton notes:<br /><blockquote>"Studies of human marriages and friendships show that people choose each other on the basis of similarity, assorting on the most genetically influenced of a set of homogenous attributes.... Darwin's theory of evolution tells us that the ultimate reason for behavior, like morphology, is to enhance inclusive fitness."</blockquote>Yet, while the vast majority of people are&nbsp;endogamous and marry within their own race, what about those who do not? &nbsp;And what about those who have mixed-race children?&nbsp;Rushton has argued that the lower frequency of shared genes in racially mixed families might result in: &nbsp;less intense bonding, greater conflict, and fewer children.&nbsp; (There are also other problems, such as <a href="http://seattletimes.com/html/health/2009268868_apmixedracedonors.html?syndication=rss" target="_blank">mixed-race children being unable to find organ or bone-marrow transplants</a>.&nbsp; More on that later.)<br /><br />Part of the answer as to why this is so lies in genetic distances, as put forward by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza in <i>Genes, Peoples, and Languages</i>. Steve Sailer <a href="http://www.isteve.com/RealityofRace.htm">writes</a>:<br /><blockquote>"Cavalli-Sforza's team compiled extraordinary tables depicting the "genetic distances" separating 2,000 different racial groups from each other. For example, assume the genetic distance between the English and the Danes is equal to 1.0. Then, Cavalli-Sforza has found, the separation between the English and the Italians would be about 2.5 times as large as the English-Danish difference. On this scale, the Iranians would be 9 times more distant genetically from the English than the Danish, and the Japanese 59 times greater. Finally, the gap between the English and the Bantus (the main group of sub-Saharan blacks) is 109 times as large as the distance between the English and the Danish."</blockquote>Using the genetic distances outlined above, let's look at two hypothetical multiracial marriages.<br /><br />An English Man and a Japanese Woman: &nbsp;As genetic distance figures above note, an English man would be around 59 times more closely related to a Dane than to his Japanese wife. <br /><br />An English Female and a Black (Bantu) Father: &nbsp;Using the genetic distance figures above, the distance even widens with a white-black relationship. &nbsp;The English woman would be around 109 times more closely related to a Dane than to her black husband, and he would overwhelmingly be more closely related to his black co-ethnics than to his wife. <br /><br />What of the mixed-race children?&nbsp;Parents in mixed-race relationships are not only genetically dissimilar to each other but they also have a much greater genetic distance from potential mixed-race children than from same-race children.&nbsp;&nbsp;Regarding the individual's <a href="http://www.mankindquarterly.org/samples/SalterMQXLVIII-3.pdf">genetic investment</a> in the second example above,&nbsp;Frank Salter (<i>On Genetic Interests</i>, pg. 261) writes:<br /><blockquote>"For a person of English ethnicity, choosing an English spouse over a Dane gains less than one percent fitness. But choosing an English spouse over a Bantu, one yields a fitness gain of 92 percent.... &nbsp;The same applies in reverse order, so that a Bantu who chooses another Bantu instead of someone of English ethnicity has 92% more of his or her genes in offspring as a result. &nbsp;It is almost the equivalent to having twice the number of children with an English spouse. &nbsp;Thus assortative mating by ethnicity can have large fitness benefits, the largest derived from choosing mates within geographic races."</blockquote>In other words and general terms, a white mother will be almost as twice as closely related to a child with a white father versus a child with a black father. &nbsp;Because same-race parents share more genes, &nbsp;each parent is likely to see more of his or her genes in the offspring even if they are not passed on directly. &nbsp;For example, if the father has gene X and doesn't pass it on directly to his son, there's a good chance his same-race spouse will have gene X and pass it on, so the son will indirectly possess the father's gene X.<br /><br />Noting phenotype in mixed-race children, each parent would more closely resemble co-ethnics than their own child, especially the white mother, since whites tend to have recessive traits for appearance. &nbsp;(A person only 1/16 black will often still have visible and prominent black features.) <br /><br />And appearance does matter. &nbsp;The fact that mixed-race children do not resemble the parents, esp. the fairer parent, seems to be an issue of concern, although not widely discussed. &nbsp;In a candid letter about having a multiracial baby with a man from India, an English mother <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-467787/I-love-mixed-race-baby--does-feel-alien.html">notes</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote>""She's getting very dark, isn't she?" This is what one of my friends recently said about my much adored - 12-week-old daughter. She didn't mean to be rude. But it was a comment that struck me with the force of a jab to the stomach. Immediately, I was overwhelmed by a confusion of emotions. I felt protective, insulted, worried, ashamed, guilty, all at once. The reason? My lovely, wriggly, smiley baby is mixed race..... The truth is, whatever the label, the fact there is a label proves that my daughter's conflicting parentage matters....But when I turn to the mirror in my bedroom to admire us together, I am shocked. She seems so alien. With her long, dark eyelashes and shiny, dark brown hair, she doesn't look anything like me. I know that concentrating on how my daughter looks is shallow. She is a person in her own right, not an accessory to me. But still, I can't shake off the feeling of unease. I didn't realise how much her looking different would matter and, on a rational level, I know it shouldn't. But it does. Evolution demands that we have children to pass on our genes, hence the sense of pride and validation we get when we see our features reappearing in the next generation. With my daughter, I don't have that....But self-flagellation is not useful. I have more pressing concerns. I am now the mother of a 'black' child, even if she is more the hue of weak tea than espresso.... When she was born, pale but with lots of dark hair, I asked the midwife if her eyes would stay blue. 'Asian genes are very strong,' she said in what I took to be an ominous tone. No more Brady Bunch kids for me. The midwife has been proved right and every day my baby's eyes get a little darker."</blockquote><br />Since parents share fewer genes with mixed-race children, people involved in interracial marriages are short-changing their own genes, which might explain why people engaged in mixed-race relationships often tend to have&nbsp;<a href="http://racehist.blogspot.com/2009/04/more-data-on-racial-mixing.html">lower mate value</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; A recent <a href="http://racehist.blogspot.com/2009/04/more-data-on-racial-mixing.html" target="_blank">survey</a> found that white women who date black men tend to be fatter, dumber and more quarrelsome than average.<br /><br />Given the very real problems with having mixed-race children (such as the fact that parents often feel estranged from children who do not resemble them and that the child will never fully identify with the ancestral traditions of the parents, esp. the lighter parent), it is unsurprising that mixed-race children suffer more problems of identity and health.&nbsp; For instance, mixed-race people are less likely to survive organ transplants, especially <a href="http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1993074,00.html" target="_blank">bone marrow</a> <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2009268868_apmixedracedonors.html?syndication=rss" target="_blank">transplants</a>.&nbsp; In general, mixed-race people have more health problems. A study by&nbsp;J. Richard Udry <a href="http://www.unc.edu/news/archives/oct03/udry10302003.html">notes</a>:<br /><blockquote>"A new study that involved surveying 90,000 adolescent U.S. students showed that those who considered themselves to be of mixed race were more likely than others to suffer from depression, substance abuse, sleep problems and various aches and pains.&nbsp;Conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the National Institutes of Health, the investigation found that adolescents of mixed race were more likely to have other health problems as well."</blockquote>In other words, an argument could be made that mixed-race families are maladaptive -- both for the parents and the children &nbsp;-- and undermine one's <a href="http://www.mankindquarterly.org/samples/SalterMQXLVIII-3.pdf">genetic interests</a>. &nbsp;&nbsp;As noted by various commenters, multiracial families often do not possess the harmony, cooperation and purposefulness of same-race families, because mixed-race families lack the focus of genetic investment and returns that same-race families possess.<br /><br /><br /><b>Update</b>:&nbsp; <u><b>Adoption</b></u>: Regarding <b>transracial adoptions</b>, the same logic would apply. For example, an English family that adopts a black child will be around 109 times more closely related to a random Dane than to their adopted child. &nbsp;As a result, a harmonious congruence of the parents' and adopted child's ethnic genetic interests will be missing. The ethnic genetic interests of the parents and adopted child will often be at odds, creating a disharmonious family structure.<br /><br /><b>Update</b>:&nbsp; From email: "People who engage in transracial adoptions probably suffer from <a href="http://www.amren.com/features/2012/07/pathological-altruism/" target="_blank">pathological altruism</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppIS19La8W8" target="_blank">ethnomasochism</a>."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Further Reading</b>:<br /><br />"<a href="http://sociobiologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2011/09/what-race-are-hispanics.html" target="_blank">What Race Are Hispanics?</a>" <br /><br />Steve Sailer: "<a href="http://www.vdare.com/articles/where-dawkins-fears-to-tread-ethnic-nepotism-and-the-reality-of-race" target="_blank">Ethnic Nepotism And The Reality Of Race</a>"<br /><br />Unamusement Park:&nbsp;

Examining genetic ancestral markers, Rubén Lisker found the average admixture of a lower-income mestizos in Mexico City to be:<br /><br />59% Amerindian<br />34% European [mostly Spaniard]<br />and 6% black<br /><br />As Richard Lynn points out in "Pigmentocracy: Racial Hierarchies in the Caribbean and Latin America," most Latin American countries seem to have an extremely small upper-class of Europeans, and below it very large masses of Amerindians, mestizos, mulattos and blacks. <br /><br />And most of the people immigrating to the United States from Latin America are from the lower, non-European classes, especially from Mexico.<br /><br />Furthermore, if you figure the average European or Diaspora European IQ to be around 102 - 103, it becomes apparent that MAMBs fall below.<br /><br />Average black IQ: 75<br />Average mestizo IQ: 82<br /><br />Average IQs of some Latin American countries:<br /><br />Equador: 80<br />Guatemala: 79<br />Mexico: 87 <br />Puerto Rico: 84<br /><br />Because of this lower IQ immigration from Mexico, Latin America and elsewhere, Byron M. Roth, in <i>The Perils of Diversity: Immigration and Human Nature</i>, estimates that<br /><br /><blockquote>[The] average American IQ will decline from 98 to 95 by mid-century. This may seem a small drop, but it will have dire effects for elites, because the percentage of Americans with an IQ of at least 120 will fall from 7.1 to 4.8. [Summary by Lynn.]</blockquote><br />It seems, in conclusion, that most New World Hispanics arriving in the United States vary by race (are MAMBs) but clearly are non-Western (i.e. are non-white, i.e. are non-Diaspora European) and probably fall below Westerners in intellectual ability.<br /><br />[Data taken from Lynn's <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and_the_Wealth_of_Nations">IQ and the Wealth of Nations</a></i>, "<a href="http://www.toqonline.com/archives/v8n2/TOQv8n2Lynn.pdf">Pigmentocracy: Racial Hierarchies in the Caribbean and Latin America</a>," &amp; "<a href="http://www.humanbiologicaldiversity.com/articles/Lynn%2C%20Richard.%20%22A%20Whimper%20and%20A%20Bang.%22%20Alternative%20Right%2C%20June%2013%2C%202011.pdf" target="_blank">Whimper and a Bang</a>"; Rushton's <i><a href="http://www.charlesdarwinresearch.org/Race_Evolution_Behavior.pdf">Race, Evolution &amp; Behavior</a></i>; Collin's "<a href="http://www.jasoncollins.org/2012/03/immigration-externalities/" target="_blank">Immigration Externalities</a>"; Lisker's "<a href="http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajhb.1310070210/abstract">Racial admixture in a Mestizo population from Mexico City</a>."]<br /><br /><b>Further Reading</b>:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amren.com/archives/reports/hispanics-a-statistical-portrait/" target="_blank">Hispanics:&nbsp; A Statistical Portrait</a><br /><br />Gregory Cochran:&nbsp; "<a href="http://tinyurl.com/ce9nkx7" target="_blank">Zones of Thought</a>"<br /><br />Jason Collins: &nbsp; "<a href="http://tinyurl.com/8tbw9l7" target="_blank">Immigration Externalities</a>"<br /><br />CIS: <a href="http://cis.org/immigrant-welfare-use-2011" target="_blank">74.7% of Mexican immigrants use some form of welfare in the USA</a> <br /><br /><a href="http://www.humanbiologicaldiversity.com/Race_Face_Plates.htm" target="_blank">Faces of the World's Races&nbsp;</a><br /><br />Steve Sailer: "<a href="http://isteve.blogspot.com/2013/05/white-v-hispanic-iq-gap-across-39.html" target="_blank">White v.

Given that pit bulls have low dog IQs, this would mean that the average IQ of mutts would be on the lower end of the spectrum. (N.B. that pit bulls also have undergone recent heavy artificial selection for aggression, since they're often raised to fight.) <br /><br />It should also be noted that pariah dogs (mutts in the wild that have reverted back to wolf-like characteristics) tend to have low average dog IQs, as by dog IQ one means a dog's responsiveness to human commands.&nbsp; Mutts, left alone for multiple generations, will develop pariah traits and eventually will lose traits of domestication, which means their dog IQ will drop. <br /><br />It should be noted, however, that what we think of as dog intelligence (response to commands) is not all that dog breeds underwent artificial selection for. For instance, breeds were selected for guarding, hunting, smelling, herding, appearance, etc., and each breed seems to have its own special abilities or appearance. &nbsp;Breeds are important. &nbsp;If dog breeds were to disappear and be transformed into a large class of mutts, we would lose the richness of canine biodiversity.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />From <i>The Intelligence of Dogs</i>, by S.
